DESCRIPTION OF THE GEAR SELECTOR
SYSTEM:

1.1.

The gear selector on the 4 X 2 Utility Vehicle is
electronically controlled and vacuum actuated.
The operator selects the desired gear by push-
ing one of three buttons on the dashboard.
The operator engages and disengages the dif-
ferential lock using a yellow button to the left of
the steering wheel. See Figure 1.1.

1.2.

A corresponding light on the instrument panel
confirms the selection, or flashes a trouble code
in the event of a malfunction. See Figure 1.2.

The brake switch is tied into the gear selector
circuitry. The vehicle will not shift gears if the
brake pedal is not depressed far enough to actu-
ate the switch or if the switch actuator is out of
adjustment. See Figure 1.3.

1.4.

The neutral switch, mounted on the transaxle,
above the Shift Wedge, confirms the position of
the shift wedge. A detent in the shift wedge
moves a contact roller in the neutral sensor
when the shift wedge moves, generating a signal
that goes to the electronic shift module (ESM).
See Figure 1.4.
